Parent Checklist for Mathematics Passports
This is a simple checklist to give parents and idea of the type of questions children will have to
answer in order to pass their ‘passport targets’ and progress to the next level. Children generally
need to be able to give an answer within three seconds as the passports are designed to
encouraged quick mental recall. The objectives are based on Numeracy Framework objectives.
